When did it become the fourth? I don't remember being--oh! No, I do. I'll assume there was a curse of some sort this weekend? That would explain why I spent a portion of it as a monkey

A monkey? Man, they really don't like you, huh?

[somekindofsin]

Actually, I enjoyed myself. It was considerably better than the time I spent as a frog the last time! At least monkeys have useful thumbs.

Have we met?

[girlwithabow]

I agree. Opposable thumbs are better than whatever frogs have.

I don't think so. I'm Kate.

[somekindofsin]

I'm not sure what they're called, but frogs have small suction-cups on their toes. While they're not as good as thumbs, they make it rather easy to scale walls and tables.

It's a pleasure, Kate! I'm Carl.

[soulofocean]

Carl! So there's where you've been!

[somekindofsin]

Yes, and I must say that I don't miss sleeping under tables in the least!

Has anything disastrous happened?

[soulofocean]

Uh, no kidding. You missed on a really nutty weekend, Carl! I think everyone in the City got struck by a different curse.

But good news is the outbreak's over and receding.

[somekindofsin]

Again? This seems to be a monthly occurrence anymore. I wonder if there's any significance in that.

Wonderful! I was working on reverse-engineering a cure, but I was a bit too slow, it seems. Regardless, it's cured and that's what matters.

[songofdreams]

Carl-san! Oh thank goodness...

I'm actually relieved you were in your lab... The curse that affected me last wasn't too... nice.

[somekindofsin]

Sorry to worry anyone, really. How were you cursed? You're entirely recovered, aren't you?

[songofdreams]

Well... two curses. One day made me taste like honey, and the other... turned me into my 5-year-old self who played around in the network.

I can't even remember all the people I met. This is so embarrassing...

[somekindofsin]

That's not so terrible. We all know what it's like to be cursed, and I'm sure anyone you spoke to as a five year-old will understand.

[somekindofsin]

As if there was any real doubt that a cure wouldn't be found! This City is a collection of remarkable individuals. I don't believe there are any problems that wouldn't be solved in due time.

[somekindofsin]

I should hope it's not like anything you've seen before! It made me think of the Black Death, really--not that I've seen anything like that in person, but I've read.

[pinkikemenhero]

It's quite alright. I'm just glad you're okay.

[somekindofsin]

Entirely, thank you. I lost track of time, it seems.

[pinkikemenhero]

I figured you were handling something important, so I decided to give you your space.

[somekindofsin]

I don't know how important it was, really, but thank you. I'll be sure to leave a note or something along those lines should I decide to embrace the life of a hermit again.
